Well, the way Jack described it certainly made it seem like he did.

"How close we are," he said. "Just---the way we've become. I haven't been like this with someone in a very long time. There are rules and they're there for a reason." He let out a long-suffering sigh that was very nearly genuine. "But with you, Jack Harkness, with you things don't ever follow the rules."
